【廃線危機！】2人の元首相が作った、2つの「政治駅」。廃止の危機に瀕する路線の末端部分にある2つの駅をなぜ元首相たちは作ったのか？JR吾妻線の末端区間を旅する

Thank you for watching. When you think of "political stations," many people probably think of Gifu-Hashima Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen. This time, however, we'll visit two stations that were not originally planned but were commissioned by two former prime ministers. We'll travel along the Agatsuma Line, which runs through Gunma Prefecture, the hometowns of former prime ministers Takeo Fukuda and Yasuhiro Nakasone, who competed fiercely in the former Gunma 3rd District. The section of the line, including the stations built with the efforts of both prime ministers, is in danger of closure. We'll take a look at the current situation as we travel to the terminal, Omae Station.
